I'm also having this problem on a Dell Latitude E6410 with Ubuntu 11.04, using the Classic (no effects) desktop.
A new (I think) detail, though: If I have a menu open in the panel, any menu (applications, places, system, volume, time/date, etc), and try changing the brightness with it open, it only changes by one level. As soon as I leave the menu, it goes back to changing two levels back to back, for one button-press. lshal -m gives me "The program 'lshal' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install hal" Is there anything else I should try and post the results? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207473 Title: Screen brightness double level changes on Dell laptops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/207473/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
